Episode 156: Stephanie Lazarus: The Detective Who Almost Got Away with Murder Jul 16, 2020

Show notes

It was quickly ruled a break-in gone wrong, and the case fell into the icy depths of unsolved cold cases. But over 2 decades later the truth finally began to emerge; and for the LAPD it struck closer to home than they could have ever imagined.

Episode 149 - Nazi Rage: The Murder of MP Jo Cox May 28, 2020

Show notes

In June 2016 the chaos of Brexit reached fever pitch in the UK. One week before the referendum vote was set to take place, politician Jo Cox was savagely shot and stabbed to death outside a public library in the middle of the day. According to eyewitnesses, the assailant screamed “Britain first” as he attacked the defenceless MP. The man was soon revealed to be Thomas Mair, a dedicated neo-Nazi whose decades-long rage had seemingly been sparked into violence by Brexit.
